Congratulations to F.C. Barcelona for beating Manchester United last night in The Champions League Final in Rome, 2-0.

While I'm not a big football/soccer fan, I try to watch "The Big Games" just to stay connected. I must say I enjoyed it for the most part, particularly the scores and near-scores. The rest of the back-and-forth, well, I could've done without that part. hehehe... Still, it was fun to watch.

Seeing King Juan Carlos of Spain and Prince William sitting nearly side-by-side was interesting, as was the excited reactions by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (Spain's President). I was somewhat surprised to see the "fired" ex-president of Real Madrid there, Ramón Calderón.

It was fun watching the after-game ceremony, seeing people holding signs, IN ENGLISH, saying "Catalonia IS NOT Spain!"

So once again, Congratulations F.C. Barcelona!!! You've made Catalonia - and also Spain - very proud of you.

Saludos, BarcelonaMan

Seeing Berlusconi asleep was not surprising though, at least it made prime time tv for all to see.

Oh I dunno, Daniel, normally he's hyper. Even the queen couldn't shut him up recently.

Well done Barca, I'm normally for the UK clubs but their football has been so entertaining this season they are worthy winners.

I am actually in Barcelona at the moment so after watching the game I made a quiet exit back to the hotel, while some colleagues went to celebrate. I got plenty of stick this morning about it in the office.

well the boot is on the other foot here in Manchester, after having it rammed down our throats how good/great utd are, the stick we are giving to them is great, all though a lot are conspicuos by there abscence, outclassed is a very good description,
oh how good is it being a Bolton supporter on nights like that

Yeeey!!!! Ole mi Barça!!!
